Hi, This week I worked on pkg:apktool, src:android-platform-frameworks-base (f/b), and the multiple packages built from it. I had to split my fellow student's changes to another branch from master [1], as there was some stuff which I worked in master which needs to be released. It makes apktool functional (by the addition of framework-res.apk), and I also fixed another bug where apktool put files in ~/apktool, making it use a better path.
I worked on all of the above by pushing the changes first to my forks at [2], getting them reviewed, improving them and then finally pushing them to Alioth git (I got commit access to the android-tools repositories) I have also just pushed a patch [3] which sets a more restrictive rpath, as allowed by the Debian policy. Will be getting that reviewed tomorrow, and then push it to alioth. I also kept updated the wiki page I created [4] to document the android build process. While working on all of this, I also gained a lot of knowledge by reading the Debian developer manuals [5]. I had read the maintainer guide in detail before, as well as part of the others, but this week I had to go through a lot more of the other manuals. Discussion with my mentors on IRC as well as e-mail, and also with the debian community in general (in #debian-mentors) was helpful too. To end this report, this week (going by the report) felt a bit small as the last report I sent was on Tuesday, however from now on I'll make sure to stick to Sundays for writing and sending the reports.
